Eine zahme Bestie auf Grand Tour d'Europe: Nashorn trifft Kaiserin! Das erste Nashorn, das nach Jahrhunderten Europa lebend erreichte Maria Theresia, Voltaire, Madame Pompadour – sie alle wurden zu Nebenfiguren, als sie in Europa eintraf: die gefürchtete und gefeierte Nashorndame Clara. Wieso schrieb ihr Casanova ein Liebesgedicht? Was hat Clara mit Tabak und Bier zu tun? Und wie konnte sie für die Menschen gleichermaßen eine Höllenbestie und eine Salonschönheit sein? Jeannine Meighörner erzählt eine außergewöhnliche und einzigartige Geschichte: die Reise der Nashorndame Clara, die, nachdem Wilderer ihre Mutter ermordeten, in Gefangenschaft geriet – und dort wie ein Schoßhündchen aufwuchs. Bis sie ihre Reise von Indien über Kapstadt nach Wien, Rom und Versailles antrat, wo sich die Monarchen, Künstler und Philosophen um eine Audienz rissen. Denn niemand in Europa hatte seit Jahrhunderten je ein lebendes Nashorn zu Gesicht bekommen. Politische Machtspiele inbegriffen Es ist aber nicht nur ein idyllisches Bild von menschlicher Neugier und Zuneigung zu diesem Wundertier, das Meighörner zeichnet, sondern auch ein aufregender Einblick in die Machtkämpfe zwischen den europäischen Adelsfamilien des 18. Jahrhunderts, die diesem Schauspiel zugrunde lagen. Clara traf das Who-is-Who des europäischen Adels. Maria Theresia wurde sogar vor dem Treffen gewarnt: "S'Monstrum schauen" könnte ihrem ungeborenen Kind schaden. Es wagten aber auch noch andere: Friedrich der Große, König Ludwig XV mit seiner Madame Pompadour genauso wie Diderot, Rousseau, Johann Sebastian Bach und Casanova. In allen europäischen Zentren mit all ihren kulturellen Besonderheiten: Wien, Roman, Venedig, Zürich und Versailles. Mit allen Sinnen eintauchen in Claras Geschichte Clara ist für manche von Meighörners Figuren eine unselige Missgeburt, für andere das Wunder von Leiden oder die Orangenprinzessin – in jedem Fall aber eine silberne Riesin. Dass sie Claras Geschichte auf Papier erzählt, hält Meighörner aber nicht davon ab, die ganze Bandbreite unserer Sinne zu bedienen: Wer wissen will, wie eine kahl rasierte Glatze in der brütenden Hitze Indiens unter einer zu stark gepuderten Perücke juckt, der kann das bei Meighörner nachfühlen. Und was Maria Theresia bei ihrem ersten Treffen mit Clara gerochen hat, steigt von den Buchseiten direkt in die Nase. Es war überraschend, so viel sei verraten!

The acclaimed author of The Hottest Dishes of the Tartar Cuisine “explores the peculiarities of familial relations to tremendous result” (Asymptote). A Lit Hub Most Anticipated Book of 2021 Max lives with his grandparents in a residential home for refugees in Germany. When his grandmother—a terrifying, stubborn matriarch and a former Russian primadonna—moved them from the Motherland it was in search of a better life. But she is not at all pleased with how things are run in Germany: the doctors and teachers are incompetent, the food is toxic, and the Germans are generally untrustworthy. His grandmother has been telling Max that he is an inept, clueless weakling since he was a child and she’d spend the day sitting in the back of his classroom to be sure he came to no harm. While he may be a dolt in his grandmother’s eyes, Max is bright enough to notice that his stoic and taciturn grandfather has fallen hopelessly in love with their neighbor, Nina. When a child is born to Nina that is the spitting image of Max’s grandfather, things come to a hilarious if dramatic head. Everybody will have to learn to defend themselves from Max’s all-powerful grandmother. Alina Bronsky, author of The Hottest Dishes of the Tartar Cuisine, writes of family dysfunction and machinations with a droll and biting humor, a tremendous ear for dialog, and a generous heart that is forgiving of human weakness. “[A] comic feel-bad novel. Bronsky has a Dickensian flair for writing about miserable children—or, rather, the miseries of childhood.” —Vulture

A town that doesn’t want to be found. A countess who rules over the memories of an entire community. A hole in the earth that threatens to drag them all into its depths. When her parents die in a car accident, the highly talented physicist Ruth Schwarz is confronted with an almost intractable problem. Her parents’ will calls for them to be buried in their childhood home — but for strangers, Gross-Einland is a village that remains stubbornly hidden from view. When Ruth finally finds her way there, she makes a disturbing discovery: beneath the town lies a vast cavern that seems to exert a strange control over the lives of the villagers. There are hidden clues about the hole everywhere, but nobody wants to talk about it — not even when it becomes clear that the stability of the entire town is in jeopardy. Is this silence controlled by the charming countess who rules the community? And what role does Ruth’s family history, a history she is only just beginning to uncover, have to play? The more questions Ruth asks, the more vehement the resistance she encounters from the residents. But as she continues to dig deeper, she comes to realise that the key to deciphering the mysterious codes of the people of Gross-Einland can only lie in the history of the hole. In the literary tradition of Thomas Bernhard and Elfriede Jelinek, Raphaela Edelbauer weaves the complexities of small-town social structures into an opaque dream fabric that is frighteningly true to life, and in the process she turns us towards the abject horror that lies beneath repressed memory. The Liquid Land is a dangerous novel, at once glittering nightmare and dark reality, from an extraordinary new literary voice.
